[hobdar]

So here is my first post, Hello....

My names Darryl, been on my learners for like forever....on and off since i was 16 (now i am 33)....WHY oh WHY you scream well i just never got around to it, i had an FZR 250 and did not really need anything faster, 160 kph +
....and i exchanged that for a wedding ring and stopped ridding for a while. Well now i am changing jobs and have some dosh saved up it is going to be cheaper to commute from Wainui to Town so looking for another bike and fully intend on getting my full licence asap so i can get me an FZR 400 to cruise the hills and oh yeah in case my wife reads this ....to get to and from work....

If any one knows of a nice 'real' cheap 250 going pm me.....

Hi Joni.

Gidday Hobdar. Welcome to KB.

I bet its freakin hot in Wainui today too. :

Good luck in finding a bike. You might have more luck finding a ZXR, CBR or VFR 400 than an FZR but if you do find one - good on ya. Go searching for an FZR600 motor to throw in it.

The motors are identical in size, and bolt straight in - no worries with alignment at all apparently. With the great handling of the 400 and the extra grunt of the 600 motor nothing will get close on that hill.

Just be prepared if you get a bike to pay a bit in maintenance for brakes and tyres. Apparently that road surface is a bit hard on tyres and your brakes can get a bit hot coming down the Hutt side.

Try this link for 250cc bikes for sale.

Have a search in the 250 Club forum, should find a lot of info on 250s there.

nice and good torque for a 250...

I can recommend a GN, brand new only $3000!! (wifey got one about two months ago and is lovin it, real confidence builder and piss easy to ride!!)

I know, the old, "Don't wanna spend that much on a bike I'm only gonna ride for a year", but we looked for something cheaper, and didn't find much that wasn't complete crap!!

Also, you at least know what you're getting, being brand spankin new and you only have to get a warrant once a year!! Feckin marvelous
